The Naval Manoeuvres - A Historic Encounter on the River Thames
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous event in naval history - "The Naval Manoeuvres" of 1887. The engraving, created by Warry in the 19th century, showcases Admiral Fremantle's Squadron blockaded at Thames Haven by none other than Admiral Sir W Hewett. This remarkable scene was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on August 13th, 1887. As we delve into this image, we witness an impressive display of maritime power and military strategy. The river Thames serves as the backdrop for this grand spectacle, with a fleet of majestic ships dominating its waters. Among them are renowned vessels like Conqueror, Imperieuse, Iron Duke, Black Prince, and Agincourt - symbols of British naval might during that era. The presence of troops from both the army and navy further emphasizes the magnitude of these manoeuvres. It is evident that this exercise aimed to showcase not only Britain's naval prowess but also its seamless coordination between armed forces. Intriguingly enough, this historic encounter took place under royal observation as well. Royalty can be seen observing from afar; their interest piqued by witnessing firsthand such an awe-inspiring demonstration of military strength. This print offers us a glimpse into a pivotal moment in naval history when strategic brilliance met technological advancement on the mighty River Thames.
